中国是一片神奇而又神秘的土地 China is a land of myth and mystery.
她广褒无垠 变化万千 Almost inconceivably vast and diverse.
从东部沿海平原... From the eastern coastal plain...
穿过高山和森林... through mountain ranges and forests...
再到青藏高原 to the high plateau of Qinghai.
无数生命诞生在这片 From this magnificent landscape
辽阔的土地上 are born countless lives.
每一个生命都是这壮美诗篇的一个音符 Each of them part of a much larger story.
这些生命... An all-encompassing circle of life...
用爱 that is fueled by the love...
离别和希望 the losses, and the hopes...
滋养并构成了一个包罗万象的生态圈 of many different creatures.
我们的故事发生在远离人们 Our story takes place far from the bustling cities...
所熟知的繁华都市 we often think of as China.
是一个关于丹顶鹤 It is a story of cranes...
大熊猫 pandas...
藏羚羊 antelope...
金丝猴 monkeys...
和雪豹的故事 and leopards.
它们共同的家园叫中国 All of whom call China their home.
在中国神话的芸芸众生之中 Among all the creatures in Chinese mythology...
丹顶鹤地位举足轻重 the crane holds a very special place.
它是长寿和吉祥的象征 A symbol of longevity and good fortune...
它是中国艺术中 it is one of the oldest
历史最悠久的形象之一 and most prominent figures in Chinese art...
可追溯到几干年前 dating back thousands of years.
在中国民问据说当仙鹤展翅高飞 It is said that when a crane takes flight...
它都承载着一个逝去生命的灵魂 it carries along the spirit of a departed creature...
从人间去往极乐世界 from this world to the next.
青海高原位于中国西北地区 The Qinghai Plateau in western China...
是全球海拔最高的高原 is the highest mountain plateau on Earth.
在这里, 行踪诡秘的雪豹 And here, the elusive snow leopard...
是这儿的统治者 rules the range.
这是达娃 This is Dawa.
这片梦幻般的土地就是她的家 And this incredible dreamscape is her home.
在海拨4000米的高度 At an altitude of 1 4,000 feet above sea level...
这里的严寒气候令多数哺乳动物都无法生存 the climate here is too cold for most mammals.
而达娃却能游刃有余 But Dawa thrives here.
她身体的每一个部分似乎都是为适应这独特的环境而设计的 Every part of her body is designed for this unique terrain...
修长的尾巴让她 from her exceptionally long tail...
很好的保持平衡 that helps her maintain balance...
灰色的斑纹使她 to her gray-dappled fur
在山崖中拥有 that provides the perfect camouflage...
天然的伪装 in these rocky surroundings.
雪豹位于食物链的顶端 Dawa is at the top of her food chain...
是这块土地绝对的统治者 and at the top of her game.
达娃熟悉山脉的每一个峭壁和裂缝 She knows every crag and cranny of this mountain.
这是她的领地 This is her turf.
然而此刻她闻到了陌生的气味 But she's picked up a scent.
一个不速之客 An unwelcome visitor.
入侵者意识到自己闯入了达娃的领地 The intruder knows she's in Dawa's territory...
她决定向达娃发起挑战 but challenges her, nonetheless.
双方剑拔弩张 They face off in a chilling test of nerves.
达娃知道她在这场激战中必须充分展示力量 Dawa must convey strength or risk a full-on battle.
入侵者最终屈服了 The intruder finally submits.
达娃保住了她的领地 Dawa retains her supremacy.
至少是现在 For now.
达娃不是任人摆布的宠物 Dawa is not a feline to be messed with...
没有什么能够动摇她的决心 and right now nothing could shake her resolve.
因为她需要保护的 After all, it's not just her hunting grounds...
不仅是猎场 she's protecting.
对她来说这两个孩子 To her, these two little cubs...
才是在这个世上最为重要的 are the most important things on Earth.
抚养他们并保护他们 的安全 Providing for them and keeping them safe...
是她一生的责任 is her life's mission.
在距离达娃很远的东面 Far to the east of Dawa...
中国四川海拨 in the Sichuan mountain valleys of central China...
1500至3300米的高山峡谷中 a mere 8,000 feet above sea level...
川金丝猴们在尽情的玩耍 golden snub-nosed monkeys run wild.
猴子一直是中国神话故事里的 Monkeys have long been figures of rebellion and mischief...
英雄人物 in Chinese folk tales.
川山里的这群猴子中的最为 And one of the most mischievous monkeys
淘气的 on this mountain...
就是淘淘 is TaoTao.
他不仅是猴群里最出众的捣蛋鬼 He's the class clown of his troop...
而且还是个武林高手 and an aspiring kung fu master.
2岁大的淘淘 At two years old...
不在需要父母无微不至的照顾 TaoTao no longer needs to be overseen by his parents.
但疯玩了一天以后它还是喜欢 But he still likes to come home to his father's side...
粘在爸爸的身边 after a long day of adventuring.
淘淘太崇拜他的爸爸了 TaoTao just loves his dad.
可是爸爸呢却不怎么搭理他 His dad, however, isn't big on showing affection...
让淘淘感觉有点郁闷 leaving TaoTao feeling a little unappreciated.
那好吧 Oh, well.
总可以指望妈妈关注一些吧 He can always count on his mother to shower him with attention.
可是家里刚出生的小妹妹 But the recent arrival of a new baby sister in the family...
残忍地夺走了本来也属于淘淘的母爱 has spoiled some of that maternal magic on the home front.
通常猴群里只有一位父亲 While monkey families only have one father...
但是会有很多母亲 they each have several mothers,
都会互相帮助照看彼此的孩子 who all help one another care for their young.
淘淘很怀念那段 TaoTao misses the days
他曾经被大家都关注的 when he used to be the center of attention...
捣蛋时光 despite the danger involved.
淘淘很快就意识到他不再是家里最 He's quickly coming to the realization that he's no longer...
被宠爱的人了 the darling of his family.
这个刚刚降临的小生命取代了他的位置 This new little bundle of joy has taken his place.
这也太不公平了 It seems so unfair...
那些习以为常的关爱和呵护 when all the comfort and acceptance you've gotten used to...
突然就这样没有了 is suddenly stolen from you.
"算了 再见” "Fine, forget it, then!"
猴群中的坏孩子都是这样产生的 This is exactly the kind of thing that makes a monkey turn to mischief.
淘淘家的隔壁 Right next door to TaoTao...
山的另一边是一片郁郁葱葱的竹林 in a lush bamboo forest on the other side of the mountain...
那里生活着悠闲自得 life is decidedly less stressful.
她叫丫丫 This is YaYa.
一只大熊猫 A giant panda.
大熊猫和金丝猴刚好相反 Pandas are basically the opposite of monkeys.
他们对惹是生非没有兴趣 They're not interested in stirring up trouble.
只想一个人安安静静地吃东西 They just wanna be left alone to eat...
放松 and relax...
挠痒痒 and scratch...
在不同 的地方挠各种痒痒 various, different areas.
丫丫早起把自己收拾利落以后 And once YaYa has completed her morning chores...
她回到了生话中真正的焦点 she returns to her real focus in life...
她新出生的女儿，美美 her newborn daughter, MeiMei.
除了养育孩子的这个阶段 Outside of raising cubs...
成年雌性大熊猫几乎终生过着独居的生活 adult female pandas live almost completely solitary lives.
所以对于丫丫 来说 So, for YaYa...
这是她生命中最宝贵的时光 this is the most treasured time of her life.
母女俩将在巢穴里一起度过 These two will be spending the next several months...
数月的时间 snuggled up here inside this den.
然后回到外面广阔世界 But then they'll step out into the world...
开始真正的旅程 and the real journey will begin.
在中国西部的高海拔地区 Up in the higher elevations of western China...
一个与众不同的家族生活在这里 a very different kind of family roams the plateau.
藏羚羊被当地人 Chiru antelope are worshipped...
当做是一种神圣的生灵 as sacred creatures in this region.
他们是大自然 They are the living embodiment...
四季轮回的化身 of nature's back-and-forth, seasonal cycle.
每年春夭成干上万头雌性藏羚羊 Every spring, thousands of female Chiru...
踏上迁徙的征程 embark on an epic journey.
这是一个悲喜交加的时刻 But it's a bittersweet occasion.
她们将和雄性藏羚羊告别 They must bid farewell to the males...
数月之后才能再次团聚 who will not see them again for several months.
在此期间 In the meantime...
雄性藏羚羊只能过着孤单的生活 these bucks will have to make do on their own.
而母藏羚羊们将如 The migration of these revered creatures...
海潮一股席卷中国西部的山地和平原 washes across the mountain plains of western China...
完成这次迁徙 like an ocean tide.
她们的终点 Their destination?
是神秘的卓乃湖 The legendary Zhuonai Lake...
位于遥远的青海高原 in the remote uplands of the Qinghai Plateau.
达娃的宝宝现在已经茁壮成长 Dawa's cubs are now old enough...
能爬出小窝在阳光下玩耍 to venture outside their cave into the sunshine.
对他们而言眼前这座陡峭的大山 To them, this vast mountain range...
是供他们尽情玩耍的石头乐园 is just one big rocky playground.
和大熊猫一样 Like pandas,
成年雪豹也是过着独居的生话 adult snow leopards live very solitary lives.
她的领地不容侵犯 So with no one infringing on her territory...
她是山中唯一的女王 no competition for Queen of the Mountain...
她将尽其所能 she can focus all her attention...
抚养她的孩子 on her young.
达娃此刻心满意足 Dawa could not be more content.
因为没有比母子彼此深爱着对方 Nothing compares to being loved by the ones you love most.
更幸福的事情了 And while Dawa would love nothing more...
达娃最喜欢坐在那里看孩子们攀爬玩耍 than to just sit back and watch them climb and play...
但她知道自己还有更重要的使命 she has other responsibilities.
那就是捕猎 She needs to hunt.
这些牦牛是美味可口的食物 These yaks offer a bounty of meat...
但是他们过于强大 过于危险 but are far too powerful and dangerous.
她发现了这只旱獭 She considers this marmot.
没兴趣 No, she doesn't.
只有这些美妙的小鲜肉 But these glorious creatures?
才是配得上达娃的晚餐 This is what dinner looks like.
岩羊是达娃的主要捕猎对像 Bharal sheep are Dawa's main prey.
她对自己领地的地形了如指掌 Her intimate knowledge of her home terrain...
这能有助于她锁定目标并驱赶他们 helps her locate her prey and maneuver them...
到狭窄的石缝中和陡峭的石壁上 into rocky narrows and steep slopes...
从而使岩羊更易于被捕捉 where they are more vulnerable to attack.
和达娃一样 这些岩羊完全适应这里的地形 Like Dawa, these sheep are built to survive in these mountains.
灰白色的皮毛是它们理想的伪装 Their blanched fur is the ideal camouflage...
强健有力的四肢令它们速度惊人且异常敏捷 and their strong legs make them remarkably fast and nimble.
但是达娃 更胜一筹 But Dawa is smarter.
今晚 达娃的孩子们可以饱饱地吃一顿了 Her cubs will go to sleep with full stomachs tonight.
饱餐一顿可以让它们坚持一周的时间 This one meal could tide them over for an entire week.
在达娃的世界里 剥夺生命是为 了延续生命 In Dawa's world, you must take life to give life.
淘淘变得越来越沮丧了 TaoTao has become increasingly dejected...
他费尽心思 and has been spending a lot of time...
试图远离他的妹妹和家人 just trying to avoid his little sister, and his family.
但是今天他意外发现了一些有趣的邻居 But today, he's come across some interesting neighbors...
让他眼前一亮 who could change all that.
他们就是流浪猴 These are the Lost Boys...
一群流落在外的雄性猴子 a gang of young male outcasts...
其中一些和淘淘年龄相仿 some of them as young as TaoTao.
他们都有着和淘淘类似的经历 These guys know all about rejection.
也是失去了在家里的地位然后离家出走 Being a Lost Boy is sort of like running away to join the circus...
这里没有长辈没有老师 except with fewer rules.
小家伙们看起来无忧无虑 These kids don't seem to have a care in the world.
眼前这位叫公鸡 This is Rooster...
是流浪团伙的首领 the leader of the Lost Boys.
一个真正的老炮儿 He's been in a lot of battles.
看他的左眼 You see that eye?
传说是被淘淘的父亲打坏的 TaoTao's father had a hand in that.
公鸡显然注意到了新成员淘淘 He's certainly taken notice of TaoTao.
或许淘淘让他想起了什么 Maybe TaoTao reminds him of himself at that age.
又或者他只是凝视更多的食物 Or maybe he just stares at stuff a lot.
不管怎样 如果淘淘想要 In any case, if TaoTao has been looking...
发泄一下内心的郁闷和失落 for a way to vent his frustrations...
那他可是来对地方了 he's come to the right place...
在这样一个阳光明媚的午后 because on this sunny afternoon...
流浪猴们邀请他 the Lost Boys have invited him...
玩一种古老而又传统的猴子游戏 to play an ancient traditional monkey game...
叫做 尽情折树枝吧 called Let's Break Branches.
这正是淘淘想做的 This is exactly what TaoTao needs right now.
不过流浪猴的有些游戏还是玩过了头 Some of their shenanigans, however, go a little too far for TaoTao.
比如偷走其他的猴宝宝 Like stealing a baby...
当球踢 for kicks?
但是, 嗨 But hey...
她又不是他的妹妹 it's not like it's his sister.
作捣蛋鬼 Being mischievous troublemakers...
是一件非常消耗体力的事情 is exhausting work.
但是对干淘淘来说和流浪猴在一起的日子 For TaoTao, though, life with the Lost Boys seems...
很快乐 pretty sweet.
突然 Until...
苍鹰出现了 Goshawks are virtually
它几乎是这些猴子们的唯一天敌 the only natural predators these monkeys have.
它们一直在四季捕捉落单的幼猴 And they're always on the lookout for abandoned babies.
一眨眼的工夫 淘淘的世界天翻地覆 In the blink of an eye, TaoTao's world is turned upside down.
它是从哪儿冒出来的 That came out of nowhere.
为什么没人注意到它 Why wasn't anyone keeping an eye out?
对淘淘而言现实突然展现了它残酷的一面 It's a harsh dose of reality for TaoTao.
他的妹姝随时也可能成为敌人的猎物 That easily could have been his little sister.
夏天的清风 The summer winds,
包裹着着新鲜牧场温暖的味道 carrying the warm scent of fresh pastures...
一路引领者母藏羚羊抵达神圣旅途的终点 have led the Chiru to their sacred destination...
卓乃湖 Zhuonai Lake.
这次壮美大迁徙的真实目的 And the real purpose of their heroic journey...
此刻才得以揭晓 now reveals itself.
这瑰丽的周而复始的生命轮回 The whole fantastic, continuous cycle...
就在藏羚羊第一次尝试着 that is Chiru existence...
分辨彼此气味的那个瞬间重启 is built on this first moment of bonding...
母子间的纽带 between a mother and her baby...
在这个瞬间紧密地建立起来 sharing each other's scent.
难以置信的是在出生后的半小时内 Miraculously, baby Chiru are able to walk...
藏羚羊宝宝便能独立行走 within 30 minutes of being born.
不过站稳了可没那么容易 It's that "standing still" part that's so difficult.
几天之内 Within a few days,
他们就能像母亲一样奔跑了 they can run like their mothers.
只要母亲和她们的孩子学会通过气味来辨认对方 As mothers and their calves learn to identify each other by smell...
他们就会建立牢不可破的关系 they're forming the essential, unbreakable connections...
将整个羊群维系在一起 that bind the herd together
从而完成回程的慢慢旅途 and allow it to survive its return migration.
有时候孩子需要花些时间 Sometimes, it takes a while...
去学会分辨究竟哪一位是自己的母亲 for calves to figure out whose smell is whose...
犯错是不可避免的 但是没有关系 and they are gently encouraged to keep sniffing.
藏羚羊群会一直留在这里直到孩子足够强壮 The Chiru will stay here until the calves are capable...
才会启程返回栖息地 of making their long return journey.
此刻 她们归心似箭 Then their pendulum will swing back toward home...
而守候在家乡的雄性羚羊也早已望眼欲穿 where they'll be reunited with the males they left behind.
在四川的山脉间 Up in the mountains of Sichuan...
四季轮回 the turn of seasons unfurls...
干变万化 in a breathtaking kaleidoscope of color.
丫丫和她的孩子终于从幽静的巢穴中走了出来 YaYa and her baby have finally emerged from their den of solitude.
该让美美见识一下外面的世界了 It's time for MeiMei to meet the world.
好了喂过了宝宝 "Well, the baby's been fed...
也哄好了 "and cuddled...
把她安顿睡下了 "and put to bed."
该是吃午餐的时间了 "Time for lunch."
野生大熊猫几乎只吃竹子 Pandas in the wild eat almost nothing but bamboo.
一天可以吃掉足足18公斤 Up to 40 pounds per day.
18... 40...
公斤 pounds...
竹子 of bamboo...
一天 per day.
美美在饱餐妈妈的奶水后 MeiMei, however, has a belly full of mother's milk...
也舒服地睡了一觉 and is fully rested.
一个崭新的世界正等待着她去探素 And there's a whole new world to explore.
好吧 Right.
她其实哪儿也去不了 She can't really go anywhere.
这个年龄段的熊猫宝宝勉强刚会爬行 At this age, panda cubs have barely learned to crawl.
然而 这并不影响她对 But that doesn't diminish her fascination...
周围景色和声音的兴趣 with all these new sights and sounds.
比如这个家伙 Like this guy.
一只小熊猫 A red panda.
他其实不是真正的熊猫 He's not really a panda at all.
而是浣熊的亲戚 He's actually closer to a raccoon.
但美美对他到底是什么并不关心 MeiMei doesn't care what he is.
她只是想爬上去和他打个招呼 She just wants to climb up there and say hello.
小熊猫几乎所有的时问都会待在树上 Red pandas spend almost all their time up in trees...
这让美美觉得他猫就是她的偶像 which makes him a perfect role model for MeiMei.
因为能爬树 Because climbing trees...
是所有熊猫宝宝的梦想 is all baby pandas dream about.
大自然真的太美了 There's so much beauty.
令人着迷 It's entrancing.
但在美丽的背后 But behind the beauty...
却隐藏着危险 lurks danger.
可以吗? "Okay?"
我们再试一次 "And here we go again."
天啊 "Oh, my gosh.
这太丢人了 "That was so embarrassing."
当你摔倒的时候妈妈总会出现 Moms are always there to pick you up when you fall down.
然后轻轻咬住你的脖子 And to drag you around by the neck afterward.
如果可以 If she could...
丫 丫 希望永远都停留在这一刻 YaYa would stay in this moment forever.
她唯一想做的就是永远守护在她的孩子身旁 All she wants to do is hold onto her baby...
让她沉浸在自己的母爱里 and smother her with love.
可是美美已经尝到了自由的味道 But MeiMei has had a taste of freedom.
而且她很喜欢 And she likes it.
松子是秋天的思赐 Pine nuts are only available in the fall...
今天公鸡和他的流浪猴们 and today Rooster and the Lost Boys...
幸运地发现了一片小松林 have found a nice patch all to themselves.
淘淘也分到了属于他的那一份儿 And TaoTao is making sure he gets his fair share.
咦 "Whoops."
淘淘几乎每天都跟流浪猴们混在一起 He's been spending almost all his time with the Lost Boys...
他一直不想去见他的家人 ever since his cute little baby sister swallowed up his family.
但是淘淘的父亲带着家人 But when TaoTao's father shows up...
突然出现了 with the whole family in tow...
正在享用大餐的流浪猴们 the festive mood changes...
紧张起来 to less festive.
公鸡为了报他眼睛的仇 Rooster probably still has a chip on his shoulder...
大概又要和淘淘爸爸叫板了 about that whole eye thing.
看起来 这场仗不可避免 Looks like it's time for some long-awaited payback.
淘淘不敢相信自己的眼睛 TaoTao can't believe this.
为什么大人们都那么小心眼呢 Why is Rooster picking a fight with his father?
淘淘家的女性成员都聚在淘淘父亲的身旁 The females in TaoTao's family rally around their man.
着上去猴多势众的 Rooster, however, is on his own.
公鸡只能独自迎战 The Lost Boys only look out for themselves.
因为流浪猴们一盘散沙四处逃窜 With nobody to back him up...
公鸡最终只有落荒而逃 Rooster beats a hasty retreat.
淘淘也是醉了 TaoTao is torn.
他的这些新朋友原来这么不靠谱 These new pals of his are turning out to be a bunch of self-centered brats.
这个世界上还能有真正的朋友吗 Is there anybody in this crazy world you can actually depend on?
回到高原 Up on the high plains...
雌性藏羚羊踏上了返程之路 the Chiru have embarked on their journey back home
将和公羊团聚 to rejoin the males.
然而小藏羚羊的气味引来了跟踪者 But the smell of young calves has attracted followers.
这只狼正在试探羊群 This wolf tests the herd...
企图把小羊和母羊分开 trying to separate the little ones.
幸运的是现在小羊的四肢 By now, luckily, those baby legs...
发育得强壮而又敏捷的就像他们的母亲 are strong and fast, just like their mothers'.
藏羚羊非常团结 The Chiru are united.
母亲和孩子之间的纽带牢不可破 The bonds between moms and babies hold strong.
小羚羊追随者母亲的气味 Each calf glued to its mother's scent.
羊群庞大 The herd is many...
但亲密无间 密不可分 but the herd is one.
中国的纯粹之美 The sheer beauty of China...
在于大地怀抱的每一处 manifests itself in so many different ways...
有她自己不同方式呈现 in so many remote corners.
有时如同进入另外一个世界 It sometimes feels like another world.
在达娃的哺育下 Under Dawa's nurturing...
两个孩子已经出落成年轻帅气的小雪豹 her cubs are growing into two impressive young cats.
他刚刚进行了一次成功的狩猎 And she's just had a successful hunt...
时机怡到好处 which comes none too soon.
正赶上孩子们 刚刚断奶对新鲜猎物非常饥谒 Her cubs are now fully weaned and hungry for some fresh meat.
他们一直在观摩学习他们的母亲 They've been watching and learning the ways of the great hunter...
的一举一动 their mom.
突然 But suddenly...
山谷的另一侧侵略者再次出现了 across the valley, the intruder has returned.
这次带着她三个成年的儿子 This time, with her three grown sons.
猎物缺乏使他们不得不来到达娃的领地 Scarcity of prey has brought them into Dawa's territory...
这一次他们准备抢走属于达娃的一切 and they are more than prepared to take all that is hers.
达娃的老对手底气十足 Dawa's old rival is much more emboldened...
因为这次她带来了援兵 now that she has reinforcements.
双方都很清楚 She and Dawa both know...
以一敌四达娃亳无生还的希望 Dawa would never survive a fight against all four leopards.
然而达娃不想轻易放弃这来之不易的食物 Dawa can't bring herself to abandon this precious food, though.
孩子还饿着肚子 为了孩子们的生存 Her cubs must eat, and when it comes to their survival...
达娃会拚死一战 Dawa would fight almost any foe.
在生死关头 The trade-off between life and death...
达娃陷入了两难的选择 is sometimes a very difficult calculation.
这时三头公豹走了过来 But then the sons move in.
达娃放弃 撤离战场 Outnumbered and out-fanged...
去保护自己的孩子 Dawa must retreat to guard her cubs.
入侵者们显然不满足于抢劫达娃的猎物 Not satisfied with merely stealing Dawa's kill...
他们开始驱赶达娃向她宣告要 the interlopers now pursue her to let her know...
占领达娃的领地 they're here to stay.
为了保护孩子 To save her young...
达娃只能带着他们离开这儿 Dawa must take them and leave the area.
被逐出他们的家园 Expelled from their own home.
如果你的宝宝是长江流域最可爱 When your baby is the cutest, fuzziest creature...
最呆萌的小家伙 this side of the Yangtze River...
谁会忍心把他独自丢下呢 it's not easy to just leave it alone.
六个月大的时候美美觉得 At six months old, MeiMei is thinking...
自己已准备好出去闯荡 she's ready to move about on her own.
而妈妈觉得 Her mother is thinking...
嗯 还不是时候 "Yeah, not so much."
这棵树太高 That's a tall tree.
美美是是爬树新人 And MeiMei is no expert climber.
求你了 妈 我只是想 啊 "Come on! Mom! I just wanna... Argh!"
作为霸道老妈能遏制住小朋友的好奇心, 但是 Being a helicopter mom can suffocate a cub's curiosity, though.
对于年轻大熊猫而言爬树被视为一种成人礼 For young pandas, tree climbing is a rite of passage.
当熊猫可以成功学会爬树时 When a cub is able to successfully climb a tree...
就意味着他能从食肉动物口中逃生 it means it can be safe from predators.
当他学会爬树时 A cub that can climb a tree...
他已经不再需要妈妈了 is a cub that no longer needs its mother.
妈妈 放松点 我可以的 "Mom, relax. I got this."
青海高原上 On the plains of Qinghai...
雄性藏羚羊在家门口不停地张望 the male Chiru stand guard on the home front...
等待着雌性藏羚羊们远征后的回 归 awaiting the return of their far-roving females.
母羊们经过漫长的旅途后 The females have traveled long and far...
终于将和他们 的伴侣团聚 to be reunited with their partners.
遗憾的是 Unfortunately...
由于彼此分开的时间太久 after being away from each other for so long...
无论是公羊还是母羊 neither the males nor the females...
他们对伴侣的记忆 已经变得十分模糊 have the slightest idea who their partners are.
不过不用担心 But not to worry...
公羚羊很乐意另觅新欢 the males are more than happy to impress new females...
然后组建新的家庭 and start new families.
他们用春夏两季使自己变得强壮 They've spent the entire spring and summer bulking up...
与对手争夺霸主地位 and vying with each other for supremacy.
他们尽现雄性的魅力 And they're raring to show off their masculinity.
被狼群骚扰了吗 女士们 "Problems with wolves, ladies?"
放心 让我来对付这个恶棍 "Fear not. I'll deal with this scoundrel."
一眼便知如此强壮的对手可不好惹 One glance at that imposing male physique...
好斗的掠食者 只好识相地离开了 and this scrappy little predator is soon sent on his way.
嗨 "Hey! Whoa!"
没事没事 "It's all good."
这冰让我有一点...哎呀 "The ice causes a bit of a... whoa!"
无论通过何种方法 Regardless of how they accomplish it...
羊群始终会聚集在一起 the herd always comes together again as one great big family.
他们永远是一个大家庭 And the never-ending tide of Chiru life flows on.
温度开始急剧下降 As the temperatures begin to plummet...
曾经显赫一时的捕猎女王 the once mighty Queen of the Mountain...
一个多星期以来一无所获 hasn't made a kill in over a week.
现在, 她被迫和比自己更强大的对手 Now, she's forced to share her unfamiliar new territory...
来竞争有限的食物 with more successful rivals.
她必须要不断地巡视 She must survey the area constantly...
然后在各个地方标记自己的气味 to get the lay of the land and reestablish her dominion...
来建立统治权 with scent markings.
但是她被这块领地的雄性雪豹发现了 But she's been spotted by this area's male.
为了获得领地她背水一战 She defends her ground bravely...
最终她不得不撤回到孩子的身边 but is forced to retreat back to her cubs.
夏天愉快的时光 Those playful days of summer...
似乎已经离达娃越来越远 seem very far away to Dawa right now.
只有家庭温暖才能度过这个严酷的冬夭 If only a family's love could determine its fate.
丫丫本能地想要保护女儿的安全 YaYa's instinct is to keep her cub safe.
然而她不可能保护美美的一生 But she can't protect MeiMei forever.
丫 丫知道 At some point...
总有一天她必须要绐美美自由 she's going to have to let go.
但是可能不是今天 Just... maybe not today.
冬夫把茂密的森林变成了 Winter turns the dense forest...
一片宏伟的水晶乐园 into a majestic crystal fantasy land.
这是淘淘妹姝出生后第一次见到雪 This is the first snowfall TaoTao's sister has ever seen.
她的天真无邪是对冬天 Her pure amazement is a welcome distraction...
苦难的另一种欢迎 from the hardships of winter.
这是什么吃的啊 "What is this stuff?"
不管是什么 真凉 "Whatever it is, it's cold."
或许高处不胜寒 "Must get to higher ground!"
没错 下雪确实不舒服 Yes, snow is a bummer...
手都快要冻僵了 and it's really cold on your hands.
大雪唯一的好处是... The one upside is...
绐了猴子们一个绝佳理由这样走路 it's a perfect excuse to walk like this.
冬天饥寒交迫 The cold and scarcity of winter...
让流浪猴群们再次聚集在一起 has brought the various groups within the troop together again.
他们这么饿 They're so hungry...
他们什么都吃 they'll eat anything.
公鸡当然不会绐淘淘任何施舍 Rooster certainly isn't giving TaoTao any handouts.
温暖 Or warmth.
或帮助 Or support.
既然选择和流浪猴 This is what you get...
在一起那么这就是现实 when you're hooked up with the Lost Boys.
公鸡又在为食物打架了 Rooster is scrapping over food again.
保理情绪在蔓延 And the hostility is spreading.
在你理清之前, 淘淘已经被卷进来了 Before you know it, TaoTao gets drawn into the fray.
连他的妹妹也未能幸免 Even his little sister gets caught up in it.
她想帮助哥哥并阻止这场争斗 She tries to help her brother and stop them from fighting...
可是 和这些家伙哪里有说理的机会 but there's just no reasoning with these animals.
淘淘的父亲打算袖手旁观 TaoTao's father wants nothing to do with it.
这里已经没有什么食物可以争抢了 There's barely any food here to fight over anyway.
他召集家人准备转移到 He packs up his family and heads off...
海拨低一些 稍微温暖一点的地方 to lower, warmer territory.
彻骨的严寒 With the cold biting at his bones...
让淘淘渴望能够得到温暖 TaoTao is longing for some comfort.
无论是谁只要绐他温暖 For someone, anyone, to just keep him warm.
他想他冢人 He misses his family.
到目前为止他一直拒绝回到家人身边 Up until now, he's resisted going back to them.
也许他还在生妹妹的气 Maybe he's still bitter about his sister.
也许他想在父亲面前证明自己 Maybe he's trying to prove something to his father.
谁知道呢 Who knows?
但是现在 他只需要温暖 Right now, he needs warmth.
他决定离开流浪猴 He abandons the Lost Boys...
重新回到家人的怀抱 and follows his family.
妹妹很高兴见到他 His sister welcomes him back.
然而生活并没有那么简单 But life isn't always that simple.
父亲并不接纳他 His father won't let him in.
淘淘没有什么可以依靠 TaoTao has no one to turn to.
他走投无路了 He's run out of options.
肆掠的暴风雪 Between winter's wrath...
和倒霉的坏运气 and plain old bad luck...
让达娃成功猎到的食物寥寥无几 Dawa's hunting successes have been few and far between.
不过这些正在寻找避风港的羊群 But these sheep, seeking shelter from the weather...
怡巧进入了达娃的玫击范围 have just moved within range.
然而, 可怕的事情发生了 Something terrible happens, though.
大雪覆盖住了尖利的岩石 达娃弄伤了 自己的爪子 The snow has concealed jagged rocks, and Dawa has injured her paw.
达娃明白她和孩子们要想话下去 Dawa knows if she and her cubs are to survive...
她的身体必须保持最佳的捕猎状态 she must be in top physical condition to hunt.
着起来 最终淘淘 It looks like TaoTao has finally...
还是被冢人重新接纳了 been allowed to rejoin the family furball.
虽然现在他的地位仅仅是外围群众 Or more like cling onto the outside of it.
但是只要他愿意和家人一起抵御严寒 As long as he's willing to help protect the family against the cold...
父亲就会让他留下来 his father will let him stay.
这总比独自一人要好 It's better than freezing all alone.
至少妹妹很高兴见到他 At least his little sister looks happy to see him.
也许淘淘正在尝试领悟家庭的真正含义 Maybe TaoTao is finally learning the true value of family.
又或许他只是被冻坏了 Or maybe he's just really cold.
在中国 In China...
人们认为大熊猫是活化石和国宝 some believe the panda to be the living embodiment...
它们皮毛上黑白相间 of the yin and yang concept...
的图案酷似一幅阴阳 the curved black-and-white patterns of its fur...
太极图 mimicking the symbol itself.
这种对立力量的两重性在自然界中无处不在 This duality of opposing forces exists everywhere in nature.
但也许没有什么... But perhaps nowhere more so...
比丫丫和美美之间日益深厚的感情重要了 than in the mounting relationship between YaYa and MeiMei.
自由与保护之间的推拉关系 The push and pull between freedom and protection...
涌上心头 is coming to a head.
丫 丫非常想... YaYa wants so badly...
一辈子寸步不离地守护者女儿保护着女儿的安全 to hold on to her precious daughter and keep her safe.
可是美美有种难以抑制的 But MeiMei has an uncontrollable...
渴望自由的冲动去爬树 evolutionary urge to just climb.
当然 小朋友总会被重力问题困扰 And yeah, sure, the kid has some issues with gravity.
那又如何 生命在于冒险 But so what? Life is risky.
她跌下来 She's going to fall down.
会在重新爬上去 And then, she'll get back up.
因为终有一夫 她只能依靠自 己 But at some point, she has to do it on her own.
这一天终于到来了 And today is that day.
有一种和丫 丫对女儿的爱 As deep as YaYa's love for her daughter is...
一样深厚 一样强大 there is a force that is stronger.
是大自然的力量 A force of nature.
它终将便母女俩天各一方 And it's pulling them apart.
美美被这种力量吸引 She's going for it.
当美美凭借自己的力量爬上树顶 The day you climb a tree on your own...
而没有掉下来的时候 without falling out of it...
将是一个历史性的时刻 is a big day.
丫 丫 或许对美美有点过分宠爱 YaYa may be a slightly overprotective mother...
但她培荞了一个非常完美的孩子 but she's raised one extraordinary little panda.
她知道 She also knows...
分别的时候到了 it will soon be time to say goodbye.
然而 母亲养育孩子 The joy a mother receives...
所获得的喜悦 from raising a cub from birth, however...
胜过离别时的千言万语 is worth a thousand farewells.
春天意味着更多的食物 Springtime means more food.
更多的跳蚤 More fleas.
还有更多的猴宝宝 And more babies.
也就意味着 Which, in turn, means...
有更多的宝宝狂热症患者 more baby fever.
虽然淘淘和家人的关系融洽了很多 Though TaoTao is getting along better with his family lately...
但是他很少再围着父亲打转了 he's understandably been spending less time around his father.
他更多时候喜欢一个人独处 And a lot more time by himself.
淘淘的妹妹也长大了许多 TaoTao's sister is growing up, too.
她开始流露出自已的个性 She's starting to show off her own personality.
母亲觉得 她已经足够大 She's at an age now where her mother can leave her alone...
可以放心地让她一人去觅食 to go forage for food.
或者帮助照看别人的宝宝 Or for someone else's baby.
然而不论哪里有猴宝宝 But wherever there are little babies...
苍鹰就一定潜伏在附近 goshawks are not far away.
淘淘发现了捕食者并发出警告 TaoTao spots the predator and sounds the alarm.
猴群四处逃窜 寻找掩护 The troop scrambles for cover.
所有猴宝宝都被保护起来 All little ones are accounted for.
除了一个 淘淘的姝妹 Except for one. TaoTao's sister.
淘淘眼睛就没有离开过妹妹 But TaoTao has been keeping an eye on her...
并迅速做出反应 and leaps into action.
淘淘及时赶到 He reaches her just in time.
淘淘从未感觉到自己如此有价值 TaoTao has never felt so valued.
他保护妹妹的行为纯粹出干本能 He acted on pure instinct to protect his sister.
但是这一勇敢的举动让他自己意识到 And that brave act has made him realize...
他长大了 that he's grown up.
真的 A lot.
父亲非常欣慰他又回到了家人的怀抱 His dad is definitely happy to have him back in the fold.
流浪在外无人牵挂的孩子 The young outcast without a care in the world...
已经成长为家庭的英雄 has grown up into the family hero.
妹姝眼中真正的英雄 He's certainly a hero in his sister's eyes.
回到高原上 Back up on the high plateau...
冬雪渐渐消融汇成春天里清澈的溪水 the winter snow lingers well into spring...
达娃仍然在为养育她的孩子而战斗 and Dawa is still fighting to provide for her cubs.
脚伤极大程度 The injury to her foot
消弱了她狩猎的能力 has greatly hampered her hunting ability...
以她现在的速度再也无法追赶上 and she no longer has the speed to chase down prey...
这些身手矫健的岩羊了 as fast as these wild sheep.
但机会来 了 But an opportunity arises.
春天 驯养的牦牛 In springtime, domesticated yaks are released...
到高海拨的草场放牧 to graze in the higher elevations.
这些庞然大物的体重是达娃的十倍 These beasts are 10 times as heavy as Dawa...
来自牦牛角的任何一次撞击都是致命的 and one blow from those powerful horns could be fatal.
与整个牛群对抗就像是螳臂当车 Going up against a whole herd is like attacking an army.
但她是孩子们 唯一的希望 But her cubs are relying on her.
她决定铤而走险 It's now or never.
小牛的母亲赶着来营救她的孩子 The calf's mother rallies to save her baby.
但达娃不想放弃 Dawa refuses to let go.
她知道 这是她最后的机会 She knows this is her last chance.
然而牦牛母亲保护孩子的意志 But a yak mother's will to protect her young...
如达娃一样坚定 is just as strong as Dawa's.
母牛用牛角猛烈地撞击达娃的身体 The yak strikes Dawa hard with her horns.
达娃身负重伤 Dawa is injured badly.
一位母亲勇敢地拯救了自己的孩子 One mother's brave rescue of her baby...
而另一位母亲则在自己的失败中悲剧收场 is another's tragic failure to feed hers.
在中国的神话故事里当一个生命逝去 In Chinese mythology, when a life ends...
仙鹤会承载着它的灵魂 a crane carries that soul...
重新开始生命的轮回 to rejoin the cycle of birth and rebirth.
从结束到开始 From the end to the beginning.
时间推动着生命不断轮回 Time pushes this cycle ever forward.
少年长大成人 The young become adults.
成人不断老去 The adults grow old.
老者轮回往生 And the old are reborn.
死亡不是终点 Death is not the end.
它仅仅是生命循环往复轮回中的一个路标 It is merely a way point in a circle that continues endlessly.
每一个生灵都在这伟大的循环交响乐中 Every creature plays its part...
扮演着自己的角色 in this great cyclical symphony.
在这荡气回肠的旋律里 Each life lived...
每一个生命都是一个动人的节拍 is just one beat in the larger beautiful rhythm.
这片广阔的土地孕育着爱和苦难 This vast land breeds both love and hardship.
但是苦难之中 But in the hardship...
总会有希望 there is hope.
它们在这里出生 This is where they live.
它们在这里逝去 This is where they die.
它们在这里获得重生 This is where they grow.
它们生于 This is where they are born.
中国 In China.
我们通过延时拍摄手法拍摄风景 We tried to take some time-lapses of the landscape.
正如画面所见 As you might see right now...
现在的光线井不理想 the light is not very interesting.
但好消息是 But the good thing is...
这里天气每半小时变换一次 the weather is changing every half an hour.
所以 如果天气或光线不理想 So, if you don't like the weather or the light...
你只需要稍等片刻 you just have to wait a little bit
一切就会改变 and everything changes again.
发现一只雪豹正悄悄靠近岩羊 Got a snow leopard sneaking up on blue sheep.
没有什么比这更棒了 It doesn't get any better than this!
现在正下着冰雹 Now it's hailing.
也许半小时内会有美丽的阳光 Perhaps in half an hour, it will be beautiful sunshine.
所以这只是一场等待的游戏 So, it's just a waiting game.
我拍完它了 I'm done with it.
继续拍咯 Go ahead.
喂? Hello?
好了 Okay.
他正在看着镜头 He's looking at the monitor.
哦, 摄影机都晃了 Oh! The camera moves.
你看, 又过了半小时开始下雪了 Okay, it's, again,half an hour later.And now it's snowing.
雾变浓了 雷雨也来了 We have rolling mist and a proper thunderstorm.
但我相信 如果我们再等半小时 But I'm still convinced that if we wait another half an hour...
就会有更完美的延时拍摄条件 we will have best conditions for my time-lapse.
这实在太美妙了能如此近距离见证 It's really wonderful getting so intimate...
